[edit] Biography
An International, Armenian artist born in Lebanon. Obtained her degree, Plastic Arts {Masters Of Fine Arts} from ALBA (Académie Libanaise des Beaux-Arts), where she has been lecturing since 1989. Since then never lending herself to derisive exercises, but creating different dimentions, refusing to create sarcastic objects destined for bourgeois. For her the inequalities and the particularities of a condition cannot define its fundamental truth.
To translate the profound equality of beings, she captures them in their uniqueness and universality. Blending drama and beauty through the ever deepening of a language in which only her subconscious varies. Creating a work in which life and painting blend in a perfect existenntial poem.
Her work has been showcased in various prestigious exhibitions, Forum of Beirut; organized by Cultural Center of France for Middle Eastern Artists, Hotel Riviera for the 50th Anniversary of LOGH, The 50th Anniversary of Armenian Artists' Existentialism in Lebanon,(Les Artistes Armeniens 50 Ans Au Liban), Salon D'automne Grand Palais International Exhibition in Paris, 2004 Salon International, Greenhouse Gallery, Texas, 2004 Biennial International Juried Exhibition. Bradcooper Gallery, Florida, Art Basel, Masters' Mystery Art Show in Ritz Carlton Miami, The New Expressionists International Exhibition, a la carte Gallery, Santa Fe, New Mexico, World Council for Arts & Culture, 2nd Biennial International Juried Exhibition, Herbst International Exhibition Hall, San Francisco, 2005
